Well, March Madness has officially started. I sometimes miss my teaching days when March Madness was a bigger than life event...everyone, the faculty, staff and students would have their grids keeping them up to date and talking about the big upsets that happen along the way.

OK, so here are my picks for the first round...some are a little unorthodox, but for a few I have explanations...here it goes...

Duke vs. Southern U. - Duke

G.Washington vs. NC Wilmington - NC

Syracuse vs. Texas A&M - Syracuse

LSU vs. Iona - LSU

WVU vs. Southern ILL. - WVU ---Go Mountaineers!!

Iowa vs. N'western St. - Iowa

California vs. NC State - NC State (time difference goes against CA)

Texas vs. Penn - Texas

Memphis vs. Oral Roberts - Memphis

Arkansas vs. Bucknell - Arkansas

Pittsburgh vs. Kent State - Kent State (don't like Pittsburgh)

Kansas vs. Bradley - Kansas

Indiana vs. San Deigo State - GO HOOSIERS!!
